Netmarble is set to post its highest revenue since founding in 2025 and will pursue an active shareholder return policy.

Netmarble said on Feb. 5 it posted consolidated annual revenue of 2.84 trillion won and operating profit of 352.5 billion won in 2025. Revenue rose 6.4 percent and operating profit gained 63.5 percent from a year earlier. Net profit surged 7,519.7 percent to 245.1 billion won.

Fourth-quarter results also set a record high for any quarter. Fourth-quarter revenue was 797.6 billion won and operating profit was 110.8 billion won. That was up 22.9 percent and 214.8 percent from a year earlier, respectively. Net loss for the quarter came to 35.9 billion won due to impairment of intangible assets.

The share of overseas revenue remained steady. Fourth-quarter overseas revenue was 614.3 billion won, accounting for 77 percent of the total. By country, North America accounted for 39 percent, South Korea 23 percent, Europe 12 percent, Southeast Asia 12 percent, Japan 7 percent and other 7 percent. By genre, RPG made up 42 percent, casual games 33 percent, MMORPG 18 percent and other 7 percent, as it succeeded in diversifying its portfolio.

Netmarble will release a total of 8 new titles this year to extend its growth. It will introduce 'Stone Age: Grow' and 'The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin' in the first quarter. In the second quarter, it will release 'Sol: Enchant' and 'Mongil: Star Dive'. In the second half, it plans to unveil 'Solo Leveling: Karma', 'Shangri-La Frontier: Seven Strongest Species', 'Project Octopus' and 'Evilbane' in sequence.

Netmarble also announced a strong return policy to boost shareholder value. It will cancel all treasury shares it holds, equal to 4.7 percent, and pay a cash dividend worth 71.8 billion won, or 876 won per share, about 30 percent of net income attributable to controlling shareholders. It also plans to expand its shareholder return ratio to as much as 40 percent from 2026 to 2028.

Netmarble CEO Byung-kyu Kim (김병규) said, "Last year, we delivered our best results ever through the success of new titles and cost efficiencies," adding, "This year, we will continue meaningful growth by rolling out 8 new titles in sequence."
